The bio can be re-allocated from another IO path & bdev after checking on
bio->bi_bdev in the above code, then this bio is freed, its ->bi_bdev is freed,
same with its associated disk/hw queues/request queue.

Both bdev and request queue are freed via rcu, but disk/hw queues are freed
immediately, so there is still UAF risk in bio_poll().

Thanks,
